We all know that there’s nothing more timeless or chic than the not-so-humble 'Little Black Dress,' worn for decades by those most stylish to lavish events, date night dinners and everything in between. It’s one of the few wardrobe essentials that has stood the test of time season after season. However, in a miraculous turn of events, Rita Ora is making us question our mini dress colour choices for the party season ahead, stepping out in Paris on Wednesday night in an itty bitty strapless number that is giving the LBD a run for its money.
Just like every other It-girl in the fashion sphere, Rita is currently in the French capital for Paris Fashion Week, and as expected, she’s brought her closet of cultivated classics along for the ride.

The snow-hued dress was simple yet elegant, featuring a wrap detailed bust and convex neckline, making it just the right amount of interesting, without being overpowering.

For glam, the 34-year-old decided on a dewy face base with bronzed contouring, a subtle smoky eye and a lick of luminous brown lipstick.
Allowing all emphasis to be on the dress, Rita eschewed her usual stack of rings, bracelets and necklaces, leaning into the less-is-more approach.

Victoria Beckham showed off a silky gown style on her Instagram story earlier this week, while Rosalía was spotted at Dior's SS26 show in a draped dress - all styles which would be perfect for an alternative bride-to-be.
With party season very much in reaching distance, why not take a leaf out of Rita’s book and trade in your Little Black Dress for a thigh-skimming white option?
